From Chaos to Clarity – My Journey with Yggdrasil Shamanic School

When I began my journey at Yggdrasil Shamanic School, I found myself at a point in life marked by chaos, confusion, and deep inner turmoil. Everything was on autopilot. I lived trapped in old patterns, controlled by invisible forces I didn’t know how to confront – and I didn’t even know I could change it.

But I could. And I did.

When Trust Found Its Place

It all began with an online course about forgiveness. I had no expectations, but something within me responded deeply. I felt an immediate trust in Pål-Esben – and in what he conveyed. It struck me right in the heart.

From there, everything started to unfold. I was introduced to “Change Your Life in 90 Days” and the 7 Golden Keys, and it was as if a light was ignited within me. I began to see how much of my life was running on autopilot – and how much power I actually had to take it back.

Moving Into the Body – and Finding Home

One of the most life-changing things I discovered was how little I had actually been present in my body. Before, I would walk with an audiobook in my ears, completely disconnected. Now I go into nature to be – to listen, sense, and feel alive.

Through meditation and connection with nature, I learned to come home to myself. To land in my body. To follow nature’s rhythms instead of society’s pace. And in this, a calmness emerged – an anchoring – that I had never known before.

From Fear to Love

Previously, I lived with a deeply rooted fear of people. Yet simultaneously, I yearned for genuine connection. Today, everything has turned around completely. I feel an authentic love for others – and the beautiful part is that I now attract people who see the world as I do: with gratitude, with hope, with love.

Being able to meet people with an open heart, without fear – that has been one of the greatest gifts of this journey.

A Learning Format That Creates Space

The teaching at Yggdrasil Shamanic School primarily takes place online, and for me – being a sensitive person – this has been ideal. Being able to stay in my own safe space, meditate before each course, and integrate the learning into my daily life has allowed everything to sink in more deeply.

There’s something truly special about being able to revisit the teachings whenever needed. The videos are like living books that I return to time and time again – and each time, I discover something new.

When we meet physically once or twice a year, it feels like reuniting with old friends. The relationships we’ve built digitally are authentic. They are profound. And this makes our gatherings even more meaningful.

A Teacher Who Holds Space for Truth

Pål-Esben is an extraordinary teacher. He doesn’t just teach with words, but with life itself. He maintains a space of ethical grounding and genuine love for the process. He doesn’t sugarcoat the truth with fancy phrases – he speaks it as it is, with warmth and clarity.

I feel seen. Safe. Respected. And challenged – in the best possible way. He has been a guide, not a guru. Someone who provides tools, not answers. Someone who believes in our power, even when we doubt it ourselves.

A Bridge Between Wisdom and Science

What makes Yggdrasil Shamanic School so unique is its blend of the ancient and the modern. We learn about shamanism, yes – but also about trauma, psychology, body, consciousness, and biology. It’s a holistic path where both the mystical and the human aspects find their place.

I began with romantic notions about shamanism. Today, I understand how deep, nuanced, and practical this path truly is. It’s not about escaping from life, but about embracing it – fully and completely.

A Life Transformation – and a New Foundation

This journey hasn’t just changed my life – it has saved it. I’ve transitioned from living in fear and chaos to experiencing a profound inner freedom, peace, and joy. I possess the tools I need. The wisdom resides within me. And most importantly – I know how to find my way back to myself, time and time again.
